Brevity, soul of wit, and all that...

Please leave a one-word comment that you think best describes me.

It can only be one word. No more.

I'll respond to your comment with one word that I think describes you.

Put this in your journal so as to facilitate other onewordiness (iffen ya waunt to)!

I think, re my last post, that if I described myself in one word, the word might well be: Dork.

I sometimes forget the basic dorkness of my nature for extended periods of time, but then, oh then, I find myself unreasonably excited about the prospect of gaming two days in a row, or I make bad qabalah jokes in bed ("That's not making it any more likely you'll get laid," quoth triadruid), or I name off all the Transformers toys I had when I was a kid, or other things like that. Then, my innate dorkiness shines like a beacon for all to see.

Ah, well. We all are what we are, and no more, I suppose.

LiveJournal Balderdash, round 1

OK then. Here's a game for a Monday afternoon. Comment with a possible etymology for the phrase "having/getting one's ashes hauled". I will screen all comments. When I get ten replies, I will make a new post, poll-style, and we'll vote for the one that's most likely. Points will be assigned at a rate of one per vote your answer collects. Other rounds may follow. Points will be redeemable for various things, to be announced later. Go!

(This serves two purposes. One is entertainment value, two is that I can't even come up with a reasonable faux-etymology for this one, and I'm curious.)
